Santa Fe Trail
12.66 miles
1:18:29 hours
I am seriously getting into my Leadville training now. I've completed my first ultra and now am working on cross-training and weight lifting. Okay, so I'm casually going about both of those; maybe once a week and only when I can; however, I am doing it!
Today, I got my bike out in the midst of a dry spell and went for a little spin. I started at the Baptist trailhead rode through Monument and continued up to Palmer Lake and back down. It was fine on the way up and I thought no big deal, the return will be downhill and I'll be movin' like Lance!
Ha! I completely forgot about Colorado spring wind and rain. Yup, hit both on the way back and my speed did not increase significantly. However, I did get over 12 miles in and a very good cardio workout!
Emails are going back and forth for tomorrow's run -- maybe Cheyenne Canyon park, maybe Waldo!
